Push to Publish, Realms Faire & other Fabulous Fall Happenings!

Every year, I'm a Writing for Kids and Teens panelist, and on the Speed-Dating with the Agents & Editors team at the amazing Push to Publish event, sponsored by Philadelphia Stories. It's located at Rosemont College, 1400 Montgomery Avenue, in Rosemont, PA. This is a great place to mix informally with writers, social media experts and freelance editors to talk shop. Authors like the fabulous Gregory Frost and Beth Kephart make regular appearances, as well as the talented indie author, Alison DeLuca, and of course, yours truly, MOI! Oh, and check out Marie Lamba, an agent with the De Chiara agency who's running an intensive workshop this year.Do you need advice on your work in progress?Want a seasoned manuscript advisor to edit your WIP?Um... that would be me!
So, if you are anywhere near the Philly/Rosemont/Bryn Mawr area on OCTOBER 12th, from 9 am to 5 pm join us for this great event.To register, click here. And click here for a full list of participating editors, agents & authors.

More news... I recently announced that I've joined a great group of authors who write speculative fiction. We're called Untethered Realms. M Pax, and some others are organizing a Realms Faire, with TONS of fun ACTIVITIES and PRIZES. Mark your calendars! It's November 11 through 15th. For a jumpstart on all of the games and sign up sheets, click here. Follow our blog for the latest on this, and other news on everything spec. Oh, and check out our newly launched, and more established novels--everything from horror to YA sci-fi to space opera.

One last but very cool thing, it's official,I'm an MFA thesis advisor! That's right, I am the thesis advisor for all writers taking on YA and NA projects at Rosemont College. Rosemont has an excellent MFA in Creative Writing program! Yay, Rosemont, and yay me! I love working with students and aspiring authors, and this will be an exciting venture.

What thrilling events do you have lined up for the fall?Book launches, conventions, panels, classes?Share it here.

Wow! You are one busy young lady. Congratulations on being an advisor. Sounds fantastic. The Event also sounds great. Wish I were closer. Sigh.

My fall is not nearly as exciting, but I am touring (online) my tween paranormal pirate story. Have some great blogs lined up to visit. I'm also hosting a couple of other authors on their tours. Having fun with it.

The event sounds great, wish I could come but I live too far. Congrats on the new position! Doing what you love for your day job is like eating chocolate cake (or insert your obsessive food item) everyday and never gaining any weight.
